Post-operative Care in Liver Transplant

Post-operative care after a liver transplant is crucial for recovery and success. This includes close monitoring in the hospital for signs of complications, like infections or organ rejection. Patients receive immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection of the new liver, which must be taken precisely as prescribed. Regular check-ups and blood tests help track liver function and overall health. A balanced diet, avoiding alcohol, and gradual resumption of activities are important for healing. Emotional support and education about self-care play vital roles in a smooth recovery process, ensuring long-term health and well-being post-transplant.
